Ive now tried Power control setting +20%, and mine also went OK but I'm getting close results with +0% and +20%, must be my CPU being underpowered
Windows7 x64, i3-540@3.7GHz, Mem2GBx2, Catalyst 10.12a Hotfix driver

I think I've seen a review of a 6950 with R0C 6000MHz chips, but that could have been an engineering sample that was lent to the media. Since I dont wanna take my cooler off I dont know which chips I have under my XFX HD6950 (HD-695A-CNFC Ver 1.1), but mine seems to take 6000MHz(1375x4) fine, though I wouldnt want to use it regularly at this clock without checking what chips are used first.

we have the same version XFX card, but for some reason mine won't flash properly...

switch is in the "1" position, card is in the first pcie slot, no other cards present, yet every time i flash it my comp doesn't boot... i have to keep using the backup rom

I'm having a bsod when I am flashing the BIOS with atiwinflash. The program actually freeze for a few seconds, then theres the bsod saying that there is an issue with my display driver (that I'm trying to modify something, not sure here), and then reboot of the machine.
I have a Sapphire, and the only thing that differs from the GPU-z of the article is the driver version. Mine's Catalyst 10.12 (Win7 64): 8.801.0.0. Anyone else with a similar issue??

Nevermind, I removed the PCI-E sata controller card from the motherboard and now atiwinflash works fine, have to reboot to make sure though.

Huh yeah ! Why not post some instructions here, or better still start a new thread and post link here.
This could solve some artefact issues some members are having.

^^ This

I've ordered two 6950s and I'd definitely like to try this out. It would make sense that the different timings on the 6970 memory chips would cause the artifacting as most users have decreased their memory clocks to stock 6950 levels after the flashing process and still experience artifacting.

Whjat's causing this and how to solve? I remark that the file I downloaded says .bin, I removed the .bin and removed all dots in the filetitle so it says: XFXHD69702048101203

Anyone?

Use ATiFlash in DOS. You can use the -fp (force flash) option then. I'd run atiflash -i first to make sure your card is Device 0 (most likely is), but then just do atiflash -fp 0 <biosname>.bin

I flashed both of my 5770s yesterday while both were in the computer with no problem :\

People are overcomplicating this >_> That or it's just because I've used computers for long enough to have needed to use DOS/Command Prompt to do certain things... It's easier than one might think though
